2005 Acura TL – Mechanic/Project Special – 205,700 Miles – $1,200 OBO

Selling my 2005 Acura TL because I recently replaced it and no longer have a place to keep it. It starts, runs and moves under its own power, but it has multiple known mechanical issues and is being sold strictly as-is.

Known issues:

• Cooling system overflowed because the overflow cap was missing

• Radiator fan is currently not operating

• Steering rack leaks

• Very slow leak around the transmission selector/shifter-cable area

• Grinding or vibration during initial acceleration

• Intermittent P0420/P0430 catalytic-efficiency codes

• Additional age- and mileage-related repairs should be expected

Recent parts/work include:

• AGM battery installed in January 2026

• Power-steering pump, reservoir and hoses replaced

• Engine mounts and ball joints previously replaced

• K&N cold-air intake

• 4 very new tires on custom 18" wheels

This is not being represented as a ready-to-commute vehicle. It is best suited for a mechanic, Acura enthusiast, project-car buyer, reseller or parts vehicle. Feel free to ask me about anything. Serious buyers only please.

I'm flexible on price and am willing to negotiate trade as well. I have a newer Acura TL now that I assume will have similar issues, so if you're a Honda or Acura wizard, your guidance is very welcome 😊
